Lola Lee Atkinson Gyles

November 29, 1940 - October 29, 2021

Lola Lee Atkinson Gyles, Our Beloved, Devoted & Caring Mother, left this earth on October 29th, 2021 to be with Our Lord. Lola was 80 years and one month away from the 81st birthday. She leaves to mourn her three sons - Anthony, Kempton and Peter; her five daughters – Vilma (Joy), Burnadette, Barbara, Opal (Dian), Stacey and Yesenya; 16 grandchildren & 9 great grandchildren. Lola also leaves her brothers Roy and Ken; and sisters Delores and Imogene, in-laws, nieces & nephews. Lola gave her life to the Lord in the year 1972. Mommy was a dedicated & beloved Mother of the Church. A beacon of Christ while she served in many roles including secretary, choir (tenor), Sunday School Superintendent and clerk. She raised her children in the Love and Grace of the Lord. Lola’s beautiful tenor voice added substance to many renditions by the choir; a gift passed on to many of her children who also sang in the church. Mommy was a dedicated community health aide; caring for her patients day and night. Always lovingly providing care for the ill and less fortunate; feeding, clothing and providing support for so many members of our community. We dearly love our Mother because she was a tower of strength. Each child exemplifies the characteristics of our mother. My mother loved to laugh and to make us laugh. A fierce chef in the kitchen and sampler of all meals with her fingers. Mommy loved a great meal prepared by her hands that brought joy and happiness to our home. Mommy had moves; she loved to dance so much, she was dancing until a few weeks before her passing. Fiercely protective of her grandchildren she often spent time telling them stories and laughing her head off when they did things which she found to be amusing. A God-fearing woman, she would spend many occasions praying with her grandson Jax who would end with “Amen! Whispered in reverence following her Grandma’s lead. We Love and miss you Ma. You are Forever in Our Hearts. (Vilma (Joy), Burnadette, Anthony, Barbara, Opal (Dian), Kempton, Stacey, Yesenya & Peter) The family of Lola Lee Atkinson Gyles invites you to leave a message of condolence on the Tribute Wall created in her loving memory.
